Fall is in the air...new clothes, anyone?
By writergirlliz, Monday, August 31, 2009So today, not only was it the last day of August, but it was pretty chilly. My summer dress was hidden under a sweater all day and it got me thinking....I need new clothes! Now, if you're anything like me, you think this all the time, but really, when a season changes it's time to shop.
Problem is, I'm on a budget. There were days when I went shopping with nary a second thought about it, bought whatever I saw, then resurrected it months (or in some cases years) later, with tags still attached. Do I miss those days? Sometimes, but not really. I've actually discovered it can be fun shopping for bargains. I love Lucky magazine, I check out TJ Maxx and Marshalls whenever I can, and I've found some great deals online. The result -- I'm getting great clothes for a fraction of the cost of fancy brands, and I'm actually wearing them!
Do I still itch for a pair of Jimmy Choos? Sure. But I know they're coming. For now, I'll keep my eye out on the bargain racks. Maybe the shoe angel just finished marking down a pair.
How do you shop for clothes on a budget? Where do you find them? Share!
